Woodcut Lvr Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 How would you feel if you were labeled a racist person? For me, as a non racist, it wouldn't matter. It seems to make people mad when they are racist. It's just another label and it only annoys people when they believe it. But that's my opinion on the subject. *By the way, I think racism is wrong, so don't think I think it's ok* I had a piece of grass on my shoe, and she wiped that off. Yeah. Impressive, eh? That's probably the closest I've ever been to having sex. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGoddessI Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I wouldn't care because It's not true and for those who are racist why would they care? That's like calling a blonde person, blonde. Bit of a bogus thread babe. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

Because it would make them look like a bad person. If you were a racist, and I pointed you out in a crowd, wouldn't you be embarrassed or upset? It's such a common thing to shun racist people. It'd be very difficult to keep a job if you started throwing slurs at a customer at your job. I sadly had a few racist friends. When I pointed it out around people, they were embarrassed and threw denies and excuses out like a machine gun on automatic. I had a piece of grass on my shoe, and she wiped that off. Yeah.

Bit of a bogus thread babe. bogus? I am merely curious. If i were to be called racist I would be bothered by it. I would consider my self a racist person, but anymore I just dont know. I thought about it, and I am honestly unsure. I dont want to go into details because it could be offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jessy87 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 I would consider my self a racist person You just labeled yourself as a racist person you don't seem upset to me. Im not trying to start a racist thread. I just am curious about things. and, if you had read all of that post you quoted. you would realize the past tense. on another thread here, a student(he was like 13) said we should teach our children everyone is equal. Infact if i recall, he implied FORCE of equality. Which, I do not believe is contradictory to things, "separate but equal". I dont think brainwashing people into believing the same thing about everyone is going to be a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IGoddessI Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 "I would consider myself a racist person" isn't past tense it's present tense. "I used to consider myself a racist person" would be past tense. You said you would feel offended by it, then labeled yourself. Well done lol The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

warri0r45 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 People throw the term "racist" around a lot these days. I don't believe any race is subordinate to mine (white) nor do I discriminate against anyone based on race, therefore I'm not a racist. Let people call me racist. I'll call them ignorant.

"I used to consider myself a racist person" would be past tense. You said you would feel offended by it, then labeled yourself. Well done lol hm, you seem to miss the entire point of this thread. And, yes I was trying to use the idea of "would" as past tense. eitherway, seems very off topic. But perhaps if you seem so opinionated on this, you could answer me the question i asked about woodcut's 2nd post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Observer Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Racism has been twisted into something that even anti-racists don't like. Some people are guaranteed jobs because the employers are scared of racism, even if they're not qualified. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenticular_J Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Everyone's a little bit racist or a little bit bigot. It's people who take jokes waaaay out of hand or people who hate blatantly and ignorantly that ruin it all for us normal people. I see nothing wrong with a joke or two, but threatening a person over their race? Denying them a job? That's pretty much [cabbage] in my eyes. No matter what race you are, it shouldn't be a factor. Unless, I guess, you're a white actor trying out for a black part. My black friends love hearing "racist" jokes. Of course, that's probably because they're pretty true for those two... :P catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abyssalwhip Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Everyone is racist, whether you want to admit or not there are just certain levels. (probably been said, I didn't read other posts) Your name is "bet you fail", and you're starting a business with your mom? I'm not even going to touch that.....
